Cristiano Ronaldo’s second goal of the night rescued a 2-2 draw for 10-man Juventus away to AS Roma in Serie A on Sunday, after Jordan Veretout had twice put the capital club in front.

Veretout and Cristiano netted penalties after both teams were penalised for handball, and the French midfielder then struck his second of the night in first-half stoppage time.

Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot was shown a second yellow card to leave his side a man down for the final third of the match, but a towering Cristiano header earned a point for the Italian champions in Andrea Pirlo’s second game in charge.

“We got back into it, even after the red card,” Cristiano said.

“By the end of the season this could prove to be an important point.”

The result leaves Juventus in fifth place.
